    We do.

    Behind close doors games.

    Look, it all depends on the managers network mainly for top level games. Collins carries no weight. Bowyer might be able to pull a few strings

    Probably had something to do with Oyston not wanting to open the stadium to lose money and use the pitch as little as possible.

    As others have said they go on the big money spinner tours of America, Asia, Australia and the very few they play in this country they play with their local partner clubs or friends i.e. Arsenal play Barney, Liverpool play Tranmere, Everton play Southport. Man utd don't play any 1st team pre season matches in England now apart from if they play the last game at Old Trafford. Even them games are getting less and less. Biggest hope of a premier league club will be Burnley or Newcastle like we've had in recent years.

    Indeed, I believe Chelsea are already jetting off to the USA for some games and now have to return for the europa league final.

    Didn’t someone claim we get a friendly with Sunderland as part of the Wyke deal? That’s the ‘big’ friendly ticked off then

    Ironically that now reads more like an official release of our 19/20 Dog n Duck League 2 fixtures than a list of pre season friendlies!'? Salford City play us in a pre season friendly ??? We should be so lucky!'..they'll be frying bigger fish than us next season ???

    Add York away and I would be quite happy with that as a pre-season
    Also add Otley, Stockport and Shrewsbury and it will be a great 'beer' pre-season.

    Well Liverpool played Chester, tranmere, Blackburn and bury last pre season before they went on tour.
    Many 1st team players played too.
